if the legend occurs in other than the default position, the borders
provided by fieldset are not drawn correctly. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. access the above url
2. view the form that calculates bmi
3.
Actual Results:  
note the upper left border line doesnt get to legend box


Expected Results:  
border should have been drawn to box

surprised that something this basic trickled thru
all the testing...  sure makes for poor looking forms.
other browsers cope well ;-[
note that this was tested with the firefox RC2 
just checked with mozilla nightlies and it is repaired 
there ...  i guess firefox not using mozilla stuff done
in last few months ... ;-[  ;-[  ;-[ 
John did you report bug 247068?
yes -- that is the one from back in june and it
was repaired for mozilla ok ... i launched the 
new report as they were asking for comments on
firfox rc2  and i was amazed it didnt include
 that old fix..... 
These are the css rules applying to the framed page:
fieldset {margin:4px; border:1px solid black; padding:2px}
legend {margin-left:10px; background:thistle; border: black 1pt solid;
        padding-left:4px; padding-right:4px}
Note the margin-left:10px applied to legend.
If there is a layout bug here, it is a minor one.

Using Mozilla 1.8a5 build 2004110305 and Firefox 1.0 RC2 rv: 1.7.5 build
20041103 under XP Pro SP2.
> and i was amazed it didnt include that old fix..... 

Firefox 1.0 is based on Mozilla code from the end of March 2004.  Bug 247068 was
fixed in July 2004.  So the fix for that bug is not in fact in Firefox 1.0. 
It'll be in Firefox 1.1.

So the point is, don't bother reporting layout bugs in Firefox 1.0 unless they
appear in a trunk build as well.

Not to mention that you reported this against Firefox a month ago and were told
the same exact thing then.... (bug 263001).
